Compendium of Family Biographies, Stories and Videos For My Seaver Line

Over four decades, I have done genealogical research for my ancestry, and have found quite a bit of information about my ancestral families.  Over the past two years, I have written and published genealogical sketches for each couple in my ancestry back through my 3rd great-grandparents, plus additional sketches for my Seaver line and selected Revolutionary War ancestors. 

From the genealogical sketches have come AI-assisted biographies based solely on the sketches, and from the biographies have come AI-assisted ancestor life memoirs and stories for each person or couple. Finally, I have used Google NotebookLM to create infographics, video overviews and slide decks for the biographies and many of the stories.  

The purpose of this blog post is to collect the information for each of my ancestral Seaver families in one compendium:

============================

A benefit of creating these AI-assisted stories is that I have learned much more about the lives of my Seaver ancestors I've learned more about their families, their communities, their education, their work, their community activities, their entertainment and fun.  Each person and family experiences unqiue historical and family events throughout their lives, and these stories capture at least some of them.  

One of the benefits of creating this compendium is seeing where I've missed a biography, a memoir, a story, a poem, a song, a video, or a slide presentation.  I will try to fill in those "blanks" as time permits, and update this compendium.
